Army Air Corps cap badge (AAC)
Hi all,
I wanted to check with you if this badge was a restrike or a fake ? The crown is voided and I noted a few differences with the non voided crown one. Thanks in advance |

The voided crown badge is a fake.

There was a post a long time ago saying another sign of a fake is the laurel leaf overlapping a feather on the right wing as well.
Cheers, Alex |

Just to clarify Alex’s post, bird’s right wing i.e. left side of the badge for the viewer.

Not neccesarily, a number of original ones are shown in one of my albums. However in this case it is.

The member sought an opinion on the example shown. I did not say all voided crown AAC’s were fake…. |
